This Morphy Richards stainless steel slow cooker has completely changed my life!
I'd wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who doesn't feel up to cooking properly after a long day's work. Just allow yourself fifteen extra minutes or so in the morning to set things up, and in the evening you'll have a freshly cooked meal: your Slow Cooker does the work for you! Amazing! No more making do with a pizza or a curry. Get back in control of the ingredients and of your lifestyle! And the cream finish just works so well in a modern kitchen that doesn't have a stainless steel theme. Thank you, Morphy Richards!

Having hesitated over buying a slow cooker for ages, I finally decided to go ahead. As soon as I saw this cream one it became a "must have" and have no regrets.
Although slightly more expensive than the stainless steel version, it looks good, the cream and warm grey is a homely combination fits well in my country kitchen, there's no problem in having it on permanent display - no hiding it away in a cupboard and forgotten, and it's just the right size for my needs. I can make basic soups and stews, with one meal now and freeze 2-4 single portions for another day.
It has taken some getting used to, being quite the opposite to a microwave for speed, so planning well in advance is essential.
This slow cooker has become a firm favourite and highly recommended.

Never having used or seen a slow cooker before, an office colleague (male) said they were so easy, even he could use it and that it could be left on overnight to cook a pot roast for Sunday dinner or first thing in the morning to have dinner ready for the evening coming home.
I thought I'd try out this marvel and ordered from Amazon. It was delivered on free postage within about 3 days - fantastic. Have already cooked a beef casserole in it which fed 4 adults, with enough left over for lunch for 3 adults the next day. Family raved about the flavour - absolutely fantastic, yet the ingredients were exactly the same as used the previous week to make casserole on the stove. It took 15 minutes to chop the vegetables and brown the meat in the frying pan, then just left it to cook away by itself - no problem, no watching the stove, no unable to go out and leave the stove on! Cooked minced beef and vegetables today - another rave and the baby gobbled it up too. Big thumbs up - wish I'd got one years ago!!!!

I already have two slow cookers: a 6 litre and a 1.5 litre and find them very useful, but sometimes one is too big and the other too small for the dish I want to cook. This Morphy Richards 3.5l cooker fills the gap and is the ideal size for, say, two lamb shanks; two duck or chicken legs; a small rolled shoulder of pork or lamb all of which can either be braised in liquid or slowly roasted with a smearing of fat. Duck legs turn out particularly well slow roasted or confited in deep fat (on Low to stop spitting of the fat). Slow-cookers are particularly suited to pot-roasting such things as brisket or topside of beef. The great thing is that timing isn't critical as long as you give things plenty of time they can sit happily on low if the dish is ready early.
In these energy conscious days it's pleasing that these devices use so little electricity compared with a conventional oven doing the same job.
On a practical note, although the stainless steel slow-cookers look smart they show up smears and finger marks much more than enamel coated ones. This particular model is a pleasant-looking soft yellow with a grey ceramic cooking pot.
Bit Smaller Than You Might Think - Check Before You Buy April 30, 2008

I was looking for a bigger slow cooker than the 2 litre one I already had. (My USA slow cooker book recommended a larger one so that you could cook for the freezer.) Well this one seemed twice the size - but it's still not what I'd call big. What I'd recommend you do is to fill a suacepan with water and measure what 3.5 litres actually looks like and whether you need an even bigger one. In this cooker 3.5 litres is nearly to the top of the bowl and some recipes can be a bit bulky until they have cooked a while. This one might be fine for a family of four or as one of a pair (you'll soon realise that two slow cookers is what you'll need for a dinner and a pudding or extra side dishes).
So I got the size a bit wrong - but everything else is really good - three heat levels, nice colour that blends into the kitchen, glass lid so you can see in. Works just great and the 3 settings allow you to adjust the cooking duration.
Try the water trick before you buy.
